In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured arc of bank W->N on 1937 OS 6-inch map, immediately outside and skirting curving field fence. Arc formed by two heavily overgrown earthen banks (inner bank: int. H 0.7m; outer bank: ext. H 0.4m) survives W->NE with intervening fosse and shallow external fosse (D 0.25m); low rise continues line of inner bank NE->ESE. Intervening fosse inaccessible due to overgrowth. Inner bank incorporated into field boundary system W->NE. Locally known as remains of fort. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 332) as single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 28yd) in Cornelius O'Keeffe's land; bank c. 4ft high; fosse infilled.
